Andrew confirmed that his action from the last meeting
was complete (bug 184 had been filed).
Geoff had raised an issue with the minutes and we agreed that
bug #173 should be updated.
We picked up on the current bugs
Mantis #181 Does Each Thread have its own Floating Point Env?
Accept as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=181
On line 2670, change "Each thread has its own thread ID, scheduling priority
and policy, errno value, thread-specific key/value bindings, and the required system resources to support a flow of control."

support a flow of control."
Mantis #182 Unsafe use of LINE_MAX in fgets() example Accept
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=182
Mantis #183
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=183
This has been moved to the onlinepubs product.
Mantis #184 inet_ntop() vs. RFC 2553 Rejected
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=184
This item was rejected based on the issue being raised before in the
development cycle.
Austin/50r1 contains XSH ERN 296, where this change was proposed before,
and rejected.
Quote:
Action Item 2000-05-022: Andrew Gollan (XSHd3 ERN 296) to forward
socklen_t info to IETF WG for inclusion in RFC 2553 replacement (IPv6
API) when published
End quote
probably explains why the RFC was updated.
There is, however, little rationale for the rejection of ERN 296.
Mantis #185 setenv failure case Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=185
This item should go down the interpretations track
Mantis #186 Thread-safety between different functions Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=186
Mantis #188 OPEN
It was agreed to leave this item open until the next meeting
Mantis #189 improved getopt example Accept as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=189
See bugnote 310
Mantis #190 Require environment variables and exit status information to man pages Description
Accept as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=190
We agree that the changes are reasonable, but also believe that the man
utiity is not required on embedded systems.
Make the changes suggested in the Desired Action and also make the following changes:
Add man to the set of User Portability Extension utilities by:
1. Add the UP mark to P2930, L96400,
2. Add man to the list on P28, L1019-1020 in sorted order.
